Fairly interesting that Bronze has the lowest level of workers but the highest unspent resources. So what do they do in games...? That baffles me.

Amazing! I would love to see the SQ rating of a lot of different players. Great read and a lot of information there.

The Spending Quotient isn't as important for Zergs though? Zergs can mass larvae without spending the money - like when you save 1000 mins 1000 gas to instantly spawn 10 mutalisks as the spire finishes.

Wow, great read!

The results of course are not surprising, but it's very good to see it laid out and shown!

For me personally, I feel like I can macro like a pro up to 70-80 supply and then I fall behind.

I help a lot of newer and lower league players with basic mechanics. I always tell them to check the economic info score page after each game. I want them to work on having a lower unspent resources and a higher income than their opponent. Most don't understand what I keep telling them to focus on this aspect.

Now I can show them this thread and explain "it is macro!"

Someone has been busy :D

Interesting analysis, and more or less confirms what I expected.

Cool post! I think this really attests to the age-old advice "spend your money!" and "constantly build workers" we give to newer players! Any time I'm teaching a new guy, they're always trying to follow a precise build perfectly, and they never understand when I say "it doesn't matter if you can only support x number of production facilities on 2 bases, spend your money!"
"If it turns out he is leaving the ESL to focus on cooking crystal meth I'll agree that it is somewhat disgraceful, but I'll hold off judgement until then."

while I know it was done for fun, your dats is not as useful as it could be. Your conclusions need to be separated for each race. P and Z average unspent will be much higher than T.
I may appear to be an emotionless sarcastic pos, but just like an onion when you pull off more and more layers you find the exact same thing everytime and you start crying

Heres my question. Is the players that you selected for the leagues below GM been set in that league for a long time or just happens to be in that league when you took the sampling, because u have possibilities for some players who just got demoted in your sample and would skew the data to a certain point.
The world is burning and you rather be on this terrible website discussing video games and your shallow feelings
